The African National Congress began its fifth National General Council in Boksburg on December 8, 2025, addressing the party's electoral decline, the Government of National Unity, and internal challenges. Secretary-general Fikile Mbalula highlighted the ANC's long-standing weakening since 2016, while President Cyril Ramaphosa urged discipline and humility amid a staff picket over delayed salaries. The gathering aims to prepare for the 2026 local elections without discussing leadership succession.
Deputy President Paul Mashatile has dismissed speculation about a plot to remove ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa at the upcoming National General Council. Speaking in Cape Town, Mashatile stated that Ramaphosa will complete his term. Party leaders echo calls for unity and focus on renewal rather than leadership battles.
